Many thanks. Embassy could not tell me..they just complicate everything.

Greta, we are both struggling with living in Australia. We are not like some of the wealthy expats and we're middle aged (a bit beyond...) but we are trying to get DTV. It's a risk like anything in life however Australia is just going to get more expensive. We do not aspire to have a replicated Western life which would be expensive. You could teach English as a second language perhaps.

@Stephen *******

How does that work? It all seems so complicated.

@Greta ****

That is a very good point. I suppose he's not making money but he says since his living costs are less he feels like he's saving money.

@Mark *******

And lonely ones.

@Mark *******

Gosh Mark you're supposed to know everything like these guys all did when they started coming to Thailand. You're not supposed to ask. These forums are just for everyone to be smug.

@Metty ******

That is more a Pattaya thing I think.

@Peter ********

I think you've danced the 'Cheap Charlie' comment to death. SInce you're a bloke of extreme leisure and means why not spend time creating a new one?

@Terri ********

There are some lonely, bitter and twisted people who have no life.
